The Cedar Rapids Police Protective Charity is a non-profit charity operating exclusively for purposes that provide for those in need and supporting events directly affecting the youth in our community.

The Cedar Rapids Police Protective Charity is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charity. We provide financial assistance and coordinate events that directly affect youth in the Cedar Rapids Community. We participate in annual events by providing children in need with school supplies and winter clothing during the holidays. During these events the children are able to partner with a Cedar Rapids Police officer to ensure these children have the items and opportunity to be successful in school and life.

We are 100% donation funded. The charity board is made up entirely of volunteers. Without your continued support and generous donations we would not be able to provide meaningful experiences for nearly 200 children annually.

Some of our events and partnerships include:

Back to school Kids and Cops - In 2018 we were able to provide back to school supplies for 107 Cedar Rapids youth

Santa Cop - In 2017 we were able to provide necessary winter clothing items including boots, hats, and coats to 113 local children
